Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Single apartment layout — The property has just one apartment, so availability is limited and it may not suit groups needing multiple rooms.
  • No pets allowed — Those travelling with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the property does not permit animals.
  • Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals without prior arrangement (VIP check-in available).
  • No smoking on site — The property is strictly non-smoking, which may be a drawback for smokers.
